The Cat Soldier (also known as Kitten and Kitten Soldier) is a foe that was introduced in Epic Battle Fantasy 2, where it was encountered at the very beginning of the game. In general, the foe appears mostly around forested areas, such as Vegetable Forest (Epic Battle Fantasy 3) and Lankyroot Jungle (Epic Battle Fantasy 4). It is arguably one of the series' most iconic foes.

Appearance

Cat Soldiers have a variety of appearances, but they always appear as small, limbless cats. They wield a variety of melee weapons, ranging from swords and spears to wooden planks and mugs of beer. Skin, weapon and shield are all randomized independent of each other, allowing for many combinations; see the Gallery section for every part possible.

This also means that when accounting for all permutations of fur, weapon and shield, the Kitten Soldier has far more possible appearances than any other foe.

Overview

Cat Soldiers are extremely weak enemies, having few attacks, no resistances, and several weaknesses to common elements and status effects. They can usually survive one attack, thanks to their damage-reducing shields, but they otherwise lack any truly dangerous attributes on their own.

In general, Cat Soldiers are only threatening in large groups, when their multi-hit attacks can deal a lot of damage if they all target the same character, or if their levels grossly eclipse the heroes' level (as with the Giant Cat Soldier fought on EBF4 Battle Mountain). However, caution should be exercised in EBF4 if a Horse Fort or an Igloo Fort is in the battle; not only can they summon more Cat Soldiers at will, but they can also buff them with their horns, making their attacks slightly more dangerous.
